Easy-to-read, concise and helpful for new members of NetGalley. I have been reviewing books for about a year, and I still found some helpful tips.

Thank you Netgalley for the resources! These toolkits and handbooks are so helpful. Thanks for the hard work you put into these guides!

I had read the previous version of the Book Advocate Toolkit and reading this new edition was an excellent refresher. It was also an opportunity to follow some of the advice and update my profile for example.
We are Bookish have done a brilliant job with this guide. It is extremely useful, well presented and full of additional resources that are very helpful. All the links work and point to the right places. It is just a pleasure to read it and a big thank you to We are Bookish for sharing these valuable tips.

Useful info to help with getting started on NetGalley. Wish I’d read before I started selecting titles as then I’d have known about the feedback ratio, etc.

A helpful starter kit if you are new to this website, with tips for writing a good review and making yourself appealing to the publishers.

Very helpful guide, concise and well-organized. I do wish they included the review disclaimer text in this toolkit, as I had to dig in the website for that. However, that is basically my only issue with this guide toolkit!

Gives clear tools and instructions to book advocates and helps readers plan their reviews. Concise and easy to follow.

As a new member of NetGalley, I was excited to check out this helpful guide! A quick and easy read, the Book Advocate Toolkit gave some really handy tips about how to best work within the NetGalley network, its books, and publishers. I loved the graphics and color pops - they made something that could have come across as pretty dry much more interesting and visually appealing.

Thanks to We Are Bookish and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book!

5 stars

NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit by We Are Bookish was very helpful to me as a new NetGalley member. I learned a lot of useful tips regarding navigating the website, how to write good reviews, and much more. I found it very helpful! I recommend this Toolkit to any new NetGalley members or members who might need a refresher on certain topics.

One thing I feel could be improved is the ability to click links from the NetGalley Reader. This is most likely a NetGalley interface issue rather than the Toolkit itself. Links can only be accessed when you download the book. Otherwise, I am very pleased with how well-written and descriptive this book is, and I cannot wait to continue becoming more proficient at being a book reviewer for NetGalley!

This short publication is full of valuable tips and tricks to get started as a NetGalley reader and reviewer. With engaging graphics and links to additional resources, it is wonderful guide for everything from navigating the site and app to actually writing reviews. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to be a successful reviewer here, and many tips are useful for reviewing on other platforms as well!

Thank you, NetGalley, for providing this excellent resource.

As someone who just joined NetGalley, I’m really glad this little guide exists. It’s got great tips on what you can do to make your profile look better to publishers and even gives you tips on how to approach writing critical reviews, which is always difficult for me. I’ll probably be referencing this guide quite often in my first few months. Thank you for providing this for users!

I found this tool-lot really useful! Gave plenty of tips for having a strong profile, how to review books, and ways to feel more confident as a reviewer. Wish I’d read it sooner!

This is a well laid out guide for NetGalley users, whether you’re new to the site or have been using it a while. I wish I’d had this when starting out! It’s full of helpful tips to improve your NetGalley experience, as well as links to more comprehensive articles.
There’s a guide to using the NetGalley Shelf app, and lots of great tips for improving your profile.

I also now know what the orange pencil next to some of my reviews means (and it’s something really cool!).

This book had a lot of helpful information for how to navigate NetGalley which I really appreciate as a new user. I liked the format of the book. It was quick and easy to read while at the same time providing good information. Definitely recommend to new users.

I really like the layout of NetGalley’s Book Advocate Toolkit. It is visual and easy to read without being overwhelming or too flashy. If all of the NetGalley resource books are similarly laid out, users will gain a lot of knowledge and use from these tools. I used some of the ides when setting up my account initially and can see myself returning to the book for tips periodically even as I gain experience using the platform. With this in mind, I would say this Toolkit is particularly useful for new users with refresher information for the more experienced NetGalley user.

This was fairly helpful. A lot of what is listed here is easily found from a cursory glance at the site, though I suppose it is helpful to have it neatly compiled all in one place, and there were a few things here and there that I hadn't already come across on my own.

is a very useful guide to understanding how the site works and the whole system around it. I suggest the reading to those who are approaching this new world

This is extremely helpful in creating a better reviewer profile, glad that I was able to look through it and will be implementing what it suggests.

10/10 must read book for everyone starting their adventures on NetGalley (like me!).
This book details all features available on NetGalley, even the hidden ones that you might not notice just by exploring the site by yourself. It also teaches you how to give proper reviews and offers you links to articles that dive deeper into certain topics (e.g. definitions of ARC/DRC). As someone who likes to read manual before using a new product, I truly appreciate We Are Bookish for providing this thoughtful guidance book. I love how every page is designed individually (cheerfully I must add!) and every info is presented in a clear and concise manner, Looking forward to reading more books from We Are Bookish, thank you :)

This is a great resource for new reviewers! I love the layout and it’s very easy to interpret. I’ll definitely look back at this from time to time.
